Nopalito, Chocolate Lab, Marcella's Lasagneria, SF report w/ pics

Friday 12/28/12 Muni celebrated their 100 anniversary with FREE Muni rides so I took the N-Judah over there, got off by the Starbuck's on Irving & walked the block & half to the restaurant.

FREE fried garbanzo beans with a bit of spice. I liked it, but I tried to avoid fried things so only ate a few.

Caldo tlapeno $6 - small bowl of chicken broth soup with some veggies & avocado. It came with 2 corn tortillas housemade there. Just ok for me. Not spicy at all.

Fish taco $4.75 - just one corn tortilla & a fat slab of fish that was seared, some tiny orange slices, onions, salsa couldn't taste. Small slice of lime with it on the side. Tasted just ok, nothing special.

One tiny almond cookie given with the bill. Charged my total $11.66 before tip. One unisex bathroom in the back. ------After going to some museums I decided to make the trip to Chocolate Lab with the FREE Muni ride I got on Fri 12/28/12. Took the T-Line from Muni Montgomery stop which was easy & exited on 23rd St & just walked back 1 block, then up the street.

It's a very blue building with green trim. Inside is pretty small, some table seating & a counter.

You can get Sparking or Still Water FREE. I got Sparkling, it was nice & just one glass brought to me.

I picked Ice Cream Sundae $9 - It's way OVERPRICED! It's Mr. & Mrs. Misc. ice cream that's just on Third St, so I could have just gotten that for way less. Burnt Caramel ice cream topped with Recchiuti Burnt Caramel Hazelnuts, almonds, peanut butter pearls, mouse-made marshmallows & a side of extra-bitter chocolate sauce to pour. Girl poured a lot of the sauce for me which I wish she didn't, I could have poured what I wanted. I thought overall it was just ok, but too Expensive.

Charged it. They have Savory foods that others seem to like better. Maybe I'll go back, but not in any hurry.

One unisex bathroom.

Hrs:Sun 12pm-5pmMon CLOSEDTues-Th 11am-10pmF & Sat 11am-11pm --------I've read good things about Marcella's Lasagneria & Cucina, but I never could get there because only open M-F. Well, I noticed it on my way to Chocolate Lab & it's just across the street from there. Take the T-Line & get off 23rd St, go back to 22nd & up the street.

After my dessert at Chocolate Lab I decided to stop in. Very Happy I did.

I got the Wild Mushroom Lasagna to go $8.75 + .74 tax = $9.49, charged it. It was the Best Lasagna I've had in Forever! They really know how to make Lasagna. Lots of cheese, smooth pasta, lots of mushrooms. Just delicious!
